RE: Deposit file(s) on Wndows Server

In my environment, all SMB shares on my subnet persist thru IPL. The rest I add back in QSTRUP. You IPL daily?!?! Whoa!

For your domain, here's an idea. Ping your server using the hostname (no domain) from your PC and server both. What domain name comes back?

Thanks for all the suggestions! How could I have ignored this?

I've been experimenting with the QNTC approach. It seemingly works fine for me on the command line. It's even OK with the longer filenames on v7r3?

Because we access the IFS a lot, we require all users to match their username/passwords between these systems. So "theoretically" I could swap my PRINTPDF program call with a simple MOVE command.

I had to use the MKDIR('/QNTC/myservername') to be able to "see" the share using WRKLNK. As I understand, that will be gone after the next IPL (each morning).
When I look at the properties of i5/OS NetServer in System i Navigator, everything looks OK. Our domain is "TBF" but my network guys says it may need to be "TBF.LOCAL"?
(and YES I still use System i Nav - I absolutely HATE the browser and/or ACS version)

Any suggestions?
